Yeah, Chuck. They’ll send you an excuse as soon as they can make one up. And if that doesn’t satisfy you, they’ll make up another one.

Yeah Chuck, and I am pretty sure that whatever they tell you will be enough to satisfy your inquiry, even a post-it with “fuck off” written on it.

When the GOP stops pretending that we actually have a democracy, THAT’s really the time for alarm and All Hands On Deck.

They are closer than they were.

Dad: “Did you crash the car?”
Teen: “I promise an answer to that on Tuesday.”

Chuck, you’re the Dad. What’s your response?

I guess that settles that. For me, I stopped listening to Senator Grassley during the ‘death panel’ period. Methinks he ought to have retired years ago.

How naive of Grassley to believe anything coming from Phony Soprano’s administration.

I’m sure he’ll get an answer the second Tuesday of never.

Grassley, the head of “The Truth and Trump Committee”.

Time to turn it over to the professionals, Gramps!

I can image the response, if it ever comes.

We fired him because we can.
Because we wanted to.
And you can’t do a damn thing about it.
Article 2 says we can do anything we want.

Trump’s going to stick his tongue in Chuck’s ear, tell a lie (because no truth exists in the White House), and Chuck will be just plum tickled.

Big f’n deal! Another whitewash on the horizon! Grassley is an expert at this shit. Whatever the WH says will be OK with him. He is their mushroom. Keep him in the dark and feed him bullshit.

Here’s what I suspect will happen:

WH answer: “Because Trump said so.”

Grassley: “Investigation is over.”

And the answer is:

“Go to *ell, you old geezer. Trump has unlimited powers. You approved this with your vote in the impeachment trial. Now, shut up and go away. Get the the virus and die, so we can replace you with a MAGA Senator.”
